The Gemini Planet Imager Data Pipeline allows transformation of raw data from
GPI into calibrated spectral and polarimetric data cubes. It also provides some
basic capabilities for PSF suppression through differential imaging, and for
astrometry and spectrophotometry of detected sources.

Acknowledging the GPI Pipeline in Publications: Users of the GPI data pipeline should cite one of the following.
Please also cite appropriate references for GPI overall, the AO system and IFS, and other aspects of the instrument as relevant.

Getting Help: The best approach is to email your Gemini contact scientist. Another channel for support of this software is the Gemini Data Reduction Forum. Please post questions there
and mark them with the tag gpi. Gemini staff and members of the GPI data analysis team monitor that forum to help support the Gemini community in using GPI. You may also wish to consult the FAQ. Contributions of improvements
to the software or this documentation are very much welcomed.

Caution

This software comes with no warranty nor guarantee of correctness. It represents the GPI
instrument team’s best effort at calibrating and reducing GPI data, but is necessarily a
work in progress and incomplete. Integral field spectroscopy, polarimetry, and high contrast
PSF subtraction are complicated, and GPI is a new instrument we are still getting to know
on sky. Use your own scientific judgement when analyzing and publishing data from GPI.
